On December 19, 2025, the traditional official Christmas photographs of the Norwegian royal family—featuring King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, and Prince Sverre Magnus—were released under the title “Merry Christmas!” This year’s Christmas photos were taken by photographer Ola Vatn in the Red Salon at the Royal Palace in Oslo.
Recently, the Norwegian Royal Palace announced that various tests conducted this autumn have shown a negative development in Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s health, and that doctors at Rikshospitalet have therefore begun preparations for an assessment for a possible lung transplant. In the meantime, the Royal Palace has stated that the Crown Princess wishes to continue working as much as she is able. Crown Princess Mette-Marit was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2018.
Lovely photos! MR
ردحذفNice to see Ingrid in something youthful thats not borrowed from her mother's style/wadrope
ردحذفIt is borrowed from her moms closet. MM wore this in 2018 😉
حذفThe fabric texture of the queens dress makes it very pretty. Not sure about the dark colour for Ingrid, though it looks okay. The blue blouse is a nice colour for the crown princess, however I find the sharp contrast with the skirt not the best. And the men all look very nice in their suits, especially Sverre, finally a suit that is not too tight. Lovely family photo
ردحذفI like these photographs very much, with the three generations and the festive tree in the background. I can imagine this is a difficult time for them with Mette Marit’s worsening health condition.

Ingrid Alexandra looks very beautiful!
ردحذفAgree! She is gorgeous 😉
حذفI wish them all the best this Christmas. Theirs has not been a simple year with regard to ageing, family or health. They are no doubt in the fortunate position to receive the very best of help and care and I hope that helps bring peace.
ردحذفI hope the Crown Princess gets the best medical care available and I also hope the less fortunate get the best medical care they deserve too! I am not saying this is the case but there have been instances where those of her standing and wealth get the transplants and other life saving medical care in favor of the less fortunate! I do wish her a speedy recovery!
حذفI had not heard of her health update until reading this post. A lung transplant is a tough diagnosis. They did announce that she will not get preferred status, so kudos for addressing that issue. I wish for her to have a long and healthy life with her family.
حذفMay God Blessuren Thee all!!
ردحذفBelle série de photos. J'aime bien la 2e, même si elle est un peu solennelle.
ردحذفIngrid a de très jolies boucles d'oreilles étoilées ! Paloma.
Ces photos sont particulièrement à mon goût - Les dames sont élégantes, chacune dans son style ; très bon choix que la cravate du prince Sverre Magnus !
ردحذفThe first photo has a terrible composition, but better colours, the second group photo has weirdly yellowed and toned down colours but a better overall composition. I love Sverre Magnus’s tie and Mette-Marit’s blouse. I don’t like the Queen’s shoes, ever. Ingrid’s hair is limp. But all in all, a sweet family photo for what must be an emotional Christmas. Let’s hope MM will get her lung transplant quickly and without serious complications.
ردحذفI like the way the first photo allows us to see more details of the room, including the beautiful floor.

Nice pic of a lovely family ! All the very best wishes to the Norwegian royal family and fingers crossed everything will be fine for Princess Mett-Merit.
ردحذفA natural beautiful set of photos. I particularly love the outfit the Queen is wearing, she always looks so chic and stylish, beautiful ensemble.
ردحذفLa reine Sonja est toujours élégante
ردحذفMette a certainement les meilleurs professionnels de santé, son dossier doit être sur le haut de la pile.
